Partner Schools

MORE ABOUT OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS

Our semester abroad and concurrent degree programs immerse you in a foreign legal culture, expose you to particular substantive areas of law that may be covered in greater depth abroad than here, and provide you the opportunity to gain knowledge about legal systems of a country or region that may be relevant to your future careers.

Study abroad participants find that the semester abroad experience provides several advantages in their careers, including foreign language proficiency, an extensive network of contacts around the world, and increased confidence and problem-solving ability.

Case Western Reserve University School of Law has agreements for semester study abroad programs with 20 schools around the world. We also have agreements for concurrent degree programs with three European schools. Students who study abroad at one of our foreign partner schools pay normal tuition to our law school. Students are responsible for visa, airfare, local transportation, meals, and housing costs while studying abroad.

If you are interested in studying at one of our foreign partner schools, please contact
Sarah Polly. She can provide you with more specific information regarding the course of study, housing, and application deadlines. In addition, she can put you in touch with students who have already studied at these schools.
